Big improvment already. 😀

Had cataract surgery so many years ago I can't remember when it was (kidding, was around 20 years ago), but I wish I had some of the new lenses they offer today. Congrats and good luck with yours.

Just saw a YouTube video of Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone. Basically Top Gun is just a few minutes. I remember seeing that movie when it came out and thinking, "I should have gone to flight school."

That was 40 long years ago. Holy cow.

Top Gun was the first VHS I purchased. If it wasn't any good I figured I could just tape over the anti-record slot and use it as a blank tape. I didn't need to...

I'm not multitasking as much as I'm doing a bunch of random things while I try to remember what I was going to do in the first place.

Me: I'm so comfortable right now that nothing can ruin this moment.

Bladder: Hi.

Yep, that was me this morning.

Me: Ah, it's Sunday. I can sleep in.

Bladder: Um, no.

Check out Prostate Artery Embolism. No knife and it works. You'll pee like a 20YO again.

You know you're old when you give prostate advice.
